I'm escaping Minnesnowda for spring break, and am bringing the board down with me. Meeting up with some extended family, and we're going to rent a wake boat. Wondering about which lake will be best (scottsdale area) and if there are special laws/regulations I should be aware of. Thanks.

Bartlett or Pleasant are probably the closest and they're decent. No special regulations that I'm aware of and i've ridden on both of them. You'll need a Tonto National Forest Pass for Bartlett which you can get on the way up there or at the Marina if it's open for like $10 or something...Pleasant has a parking/launching fee too but I can't remember how much.
